The honor roll is divided into three tiers — High Honors with Distinction, High Honors and Honors — based on cumulative GPA. This year, 45 members of the University at Albany’s football squad earned a place on the roster, underscoring the program’s commitment to scholarly achievement.
Among the Great Danes, Bodhi Sabongui distinguished himself with a perfect 4.0 GPA, earning High Honors with Distinction. Teammates Nate Cole, Dana Johnson Jr. and Shane O’Neill also received High Honors, while an additional 41 athletes were recognized under the Honors category.
To qualify, each player must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 and be enrolled full‑time, a standard that reflects the conference’s broader emphasis on developing well‑rounded student‑athletes.
